"Really? I feel like sothing could break in at any mont."
"Sleep peacefully, I’m here too. If anyone dares to break in, we’ll kill and eat them. There’s a guard outside with a gun, so there’s absolutely no problem."
Reassured by these words, Yue’er finally cald down, and the two of them continued to sleep peacefully.
After all that commotion, Lin Yang’s sleep was disturbed, and when he woke up the next morning, he was a bit tired, sporting dark circles under his eyes.
After washing up, he went to the breakfast table, and Sun Zheng couldn’t help but laugh when he saw him.
"Master Lin, look at those dark circles. Did you sleep poorly last night?"
Lin Yang nodded. "There are always monkeys making strange noises in the camp at night. I was woken up again last night. Is there any way to drive these monkeys away?"
Sun Zheng shook his head. "No way, our camp is within their territory. It’s much better now. At least the monkeys don’t dare to run wild in the camp. A few years ago, when the camp had just been established, even kitchen knives were stolen by monkeys."
"These monkeys are very agile in the rainforest; it’s difficult to hunt them down completely. But now that you ntion it, it reminds of a local dish made by the natives here, roasted monkey. If you don’t have an aversion to that, you might want to try it. It’s one of the few local dishes I recomnd you try."
Although monkeys are not protected animals here, and eating them is not illegal,
Lin Yang and Yue’er exchanged glances and saw a strong reluctance in each other’s eyes.
Although he prided himself on not being a particularly good person and was quite keen on delicacies, the thought of eating monkeys, a primate, naturally repulsed him, since he wasn’t a gourt without any limits.
"Let’s not. Eating fish is pretty good. Our target today is Silver Dragon Fish, right?" Lin Yang changed the subject proactively.
"Yes, there’s a fast-moving stream area upstream from our camp where you can fish for native Silver Dragon Fish, but so areas are shallow, and we’ll need to wade through. Be ntally prepared," he replied.
"You’re sure it’s safe, right? After yesterday’s Parasitic Catfish..." Lin Yang felt apprehensive at the ntion of wading.
"Don’t worry, the locals go barefoot, and it’s okay. Wearing boots will definitely not pose any problem."
Reassured by Sun Zheng, the group finished breakfast and started heading upstream in a small boat.
.....
Compared to the half-hour fishing spot near the camp from yesterday, the designated spot for the Silver Dragon Fish was much farther from the camp.
Lin Yang and his group traveled in a small boat for over an hour before finally reaching the designated spot upstream.
Due to a shallow stretch of water, the boat could no longer proceed, and they needed to walk a distance to reach the water mouth upstream.
"Master Lin, the boat can only go this far. Let’s get off and walk. Make sure your boots are on properly, and let the others help carry the needed equipnt," Sun Zheng said professionally.
Lin Yang nodded, glancing upstream for a few monts. "How much farther? I think I can hear the sound of a waterfall."
"Not too far, walking no more than a kiloter at most. There’s a rapid section up ahead, and the noise you hear is the rapids washing against the river stones. Let’s head over there now while the temperature is still low!"
"Great!"
After a brief exchange, a guard helped carry the rod and equipnt. Lin Yang and Yue’er put on their protective boots and followed Baom towards the designated point.
It must be said, Lin Yang’s Chinese food paired with beer had successfully won Baom’s friendship.
While on the move, Baom frequently looked back to check on Lin Yang and others. Whenever they encountered difficult terrain, he personally tested the waters to make sure it was safe before coming back to assist Lin Yang and the others in crossing, showing trendous dedication and responsibility.
After crossing a gentle slope with flowing water, the scenery ahead suddenly opened up.
The situation here was sowhat similar to certain river rubber dam reservoirs in China, where the terrain created a drop, causing the originally gentle water to speed up significantly.
The river bed varied in depth, and from the bank, one could see the water flowing in varying depths and colors in the distance, with a faint fishy sll lingering in the air.
"This is the spot! Silver Dragon Fish thrive in areas with high dissolved oxygen and have high water quality requirents. This rapid section suits their breeding and living conditions," Sun Zheng translated Baom’s words.
Lin Yang nodded, took out the live broadcasting equipnt to start the stream, and then took over the gear brought by the guard to start setting up his fishing gear.
"The stream has finally started, where is this? It seems different from yesterday’s streaming area; the current seems a bit strong."
"There’s a lot of noise, is that the sound of flowing water, or is there a waterfall nearby?"
Lin Yang, while setting up the fishing reel and the lure fishing rod, glanced at the chat ssages and calmly explained,
"Good morning, everyone. Today is our second day in the Amazon Rainforest. Guided by local fishing and hunting guides, we have arrived at a section of the Black River tributary upstream.
You can see the water conditions here, the current is swift, and the water level is relatively shallow. Before starting the live broadcast, we had to walk almost a kiloter to get here.
Today’s target fish is the legendary Silver Dragon Fish. We are near the spot where Silver Dragon Fish are active, and we’ll try our luck to see if we can catch one...."
